"The best nite of the run was the following evening on the 31st when Coltrane and Bird burned down the Fillmore in a jam with Garcia on Take Five > My Favorite Things > Man With The Golden Arm > Black Orpheus> Alligator"

is that you, MtvPromos? Funny, mr deep sea fishing with the rich! you really live the life don;'t you -- you dog!!

what are we goin out for this weekend?

it is not that hard to rip off the DARK STAR NOTES if that is what you wanna do... but the energy -- if you ain't the GD, the energy is just.... VERY FAR BEYOND YOUR REACH!.... and then of course when the guy comes in on the vocals he sounds like one of The Hay-Maykers Illegitimate step-children......

cheers CH -- any chance you could mail a nice sea bass or couple pounds of soft shell crab to CA??

CH--- are you located in the Northeast?? Has the fall striper run started for you yet?? I'm here in the mid-atlantic region, just itching for it to turn on down this way. Still too warm yet. A few more weeks and it should be on!

there's only one decent fish market around here where i can get some good local sea bass -- and that is caught mostly up Fort Bragg way, or down in the Monterey Bay -- we generally see plenty of fresh wild Halibut, from Alaska i guess -- and Salmon comes and goes -- not always available fresh and wild .... of course Dungeness crab season is right around the corner -- but there is no softshell out here -- i kind of knew it was out of season by now.....

heard of Paul Johnson? (no reason why you would have really) well.... he's pretty cool, he is kind of the Alice Waters of Fish, if you know what i mean -- it's all very Berkeley/California http://www.montereyfish.com/>
